Felt - Not many male pros?

Was just reading the new front page article.

Something I think I noticed past years as well. Any particular reason Felt has had some top female pro's over the past several years, but hardly any (if any at all?) high level male pro's?

Possible it goes the other way around... remember, much of the top 15 is about who sponsors who.

Maybe felt invests more heavily in Women.
They had carfrae and ryf early on in her career.

The TA FRD was developed specifically for the USA Women's track cycling team (Every article about reference the women's team, not USA Cycling in general).

Its possible they actively recruit females to sponsor.

hmmmm....doesnt josh amberger ride a felt? timmy reed used to not so long ago....if it wasnt for Ryf, id be asking what female pros ride a felt. I just dont think Felt ties up a lot of sponsorship money in tri's perhaps. To be honest id thought id see felt in the pro peleton today before Argon 18.
